Cleaning

Today has been an interesting day. The third day of check-in was slow and I got around to cleaning my office - or at least starting to clean my office. It's been quite a project.
I remember cleaning out my office at a previous institution. I left a nicely typed up piece of paper with instructions where everything in the office was. There was a list of keys with key codes and explanations of what the keys went to and who should get what keys. Okay, maybe I was going a little overboard doing all that but I think it's better finding that than an office where you can't find anything and a pile of keys with a note attached that says, "not sure what those go to." And then I hear students telling me how great this previous staff member was - I can't judge; I don't know him but just as much as first impressions count, it also matters how you leave a place.... And yes, it's not all about administrative work - and it's definitely not my favorite part of the job, but it has its value and especially when you leave somewhere, shouldn't you think about trying to make the transition easier for the next person?

Argh, I guess I'm just tired. I'm not a big fan of cleaning. Haha.

Random thought of the day: It'd be worth being a rock star just because you'd be able to wear crazy but awesome looking outfits. Hehe.
